Female Combat Engineer Officers

Abstract

This ethics paper will discuss the ethical decisions that senior leaders in the US Army Engineer Corp must make concerning placement of female engineer officers in their organizations. I have personally experienced this ethical dilemma as a 1SG deployed in Kosovo. The situation created conflict between the Company Commander and the Battalion Commander and impacted morale in the unit. Understanding the structure and manning of engineer units is critical to understand the underlying problem that contributes to this issue.
